I think yak is still pretty effective with str build, but I think you need to scrape up some money later for angels glove, becuase you can't stick with yak knuckle forever.

My BP is dex build and it's fun, although i have noticed i kill slightly slow than people with str builds, ha.. i can't afford those guardian knuckles and 50m+ stuff

it's 60 str 25 sta 84 dex and 15 int ||||| lvl 63

gunna get more sta cause im sick of damn 25 sta lol get it up with my str.. 60 str 60 sta would rock for me then all dex is my ideal DEX build

oh yeah...i suppose the +20% hit rate is pretty handy....xD but generally people would use yaks for a dex build....xD

i dont think srt builds need a guardian knuckle yeh it doesnt kill you to use one and it helps but i dont think its really necesery its just gunna be a bit harder

Don't need a gknuckle for str build. 43~dex some sta rest str doesn't require a gknuckle.

I always laughed my ass off when I was lvl'ing my bp and ran into dex bp's....doing half my dmg and I ended up joining their spawn and leaving while they were still trying to lvl

True about the gknuckle but that goes for everything, you dont really need it, it just helps and be honest, gknuckle helps a lot for a str build below 90 and angels helps a lot over 90, generally for people brave/rich enough to switch to full strength, which I enjoyed even more

Bottom line I think for bp's and dex builds is this :
Want to lvl fast and do high dmg without counting on crits, make a str bp.
Want to crit a lot, make a blade.

We are not comparing a Full Dex build, every1 knows they fail. We are comparing a High Dex Build (100Dex) with a Str Build (63dex).

People make Dex build to avoid buying a G Knuckle( to add speed ) and a +8Set ( for the lack of Hitrate )
An Aoe ele lv faster and does more damage compare with a Str Bp
A BJ will crit more than a Blade.

Str Build needs a G Knuckle more than a Dex Build.

By level 45 I will 43 Dex (So I can hit the 63 Speed Break).

I am thinking of putting the rest into STR, or putting Sta up to 25 (and thats all), and the rest into strength.

I have mastered haste and by 45 I will have a mastered cannonball so my attack speed at 45 should be pretty amazing. (I also have a level 19 stone hand).

My stats are as follows....(incase you wanted to know).

Str - 57
Sta - 22
Dex - 40
Int - 15

My question isj if this build is the proper cookie cutter build for a Dex assist and if I could go Str later on.

I just want to make sure I dont mess up so I have to buy a restat/skill.

you are wrong, At 45 your atk speed will not be all that amazing because although you will have 63 dex buffed you will not hit a speed break untill you become a level 60 bp. if nothing else, max haste, beef up, stone hand(19), accuracy. would be the main things to max. But the choice is yours, Some bp like to get prevention early on to help with not dying and such. but if you get prevention at an early level before 60, some of your buffs will probably suffer. This is just me. but if i was you i would probably get all my important buffs, Haste Beef up Accuracy Cannon ball and such, and at level 60 max out asmodues becuase it adds like +80 dmg to knuckle, and do not waste your skill points on any of those bp skills untill you restat to like INT aoe or a different build. unless of course you want to get Asal at level 80 then waste your points on those bp skills. but i would probably stick with max prevention before wasting points on a skill you cant spam while levling.
w/e just my little opion Remember your atk speed with 62* dex they changed i heard, but it wont be noticed untill ur level 60 bp.

umm, Str bp need hit rate, which is why they always end up getting like +8-+10 sets for extra hit rate. Most str bp will tell you get your set to +8 or to +10, and use gknuckle or w/e. Str bp need hit rate. more they need speed wheather they know it or not.

Dmg is always constant, your hitrate is not. if your full str bp level 60 u might hit 2k one time out of 3 hits, but if your full dex you will probably hit evrytime on the same mob for less dmg but always the same or close to same dmg, crits are different.
a str bp might get lucky and hit like 10 times in a row and kill 1 mob, but more often he will probably miss alot while a dex bp hits for less dmg but always does a little. Im not saying dex bp is better or str is or w/e just saying dmg is almost always the same, every hit on the mob and that bp will need hitrate for thier high dmg attacks to be felt, which is why it is not really required they get gknuckle. Gkncukle is for high dmg, because its a good strng knuckle, +15% atk speed, and +15%hp. it would probably be usefull for a dex bp then a str bp becuase str could use a +20% hit rate from a yakadain knukcle rather then speed from gknuckle because thier hit rate is probably going to be low. so i disagree with str bp need or require a gknuckle, and chris guy said str bp dont require a gknuck. meaning it is not neccesary for the build to work, but usally str bp need +8-+10 sets and rare green weapons or such like Gknuckle, or yaka to add speed or hp or hitrate.

umm pure dex doesn't fail because they can get mobs stunlocked. and have high dodge rate and crit rate, if anything they might be slower. because at some point thier speed reaches its max, but image if it could be faster a dex bp might be better then a str bp, only reason you might not think so, is because thier is a limit to everything, such as crit dmg, atk speed, atk and everything, but dmg is only limited by sets peirced options, and sets, and the weapons they use and how its upgraded and the stat str. it keeps going up but is only limited by what you can do. u can always add str for more dmg. but a dex bp adding dex will make them reach 100% atk speed and give them higher crit rate, and dodge rate but thier speed stops at 100% putting dex at a disadvantage to str because of its limits.

anyhow a Pure dex probably isnt failure but maybe slower, but if you have full dex, crit alot and always dodge and dont need food because u always dodge a hit and are always stunlocking, i probably wouldn't mind being full dex and never having to food or die.
